Before we talk about how cutting salt could help you EAT THE CAKE
AND NOT GAT FAT I want to talk about how cutting it from your diet can
affect your health.

I’m not trying to put you on a diet; I’m trying to make you healthy,
and salt does not make you healthy!

These are some of the health risks that come with eating too much salt
(I’ll explain how much salt is too much, don’t worry): high blood pressure,
heart disease, strokes, osteoporosis and stomach
cancer.

That’s pretty scary, but how much is too much? Well, do you add salt to
your food?

Then you are eating too much salt and you at risk of getting one or
more of these “fun” symptoms.

There is salt in pretty much everything we eat.

From dark leafy green to the oat you eat.

You do not need to add salt to your food – it is already there:

1 cup of Chard Swiss – 76mg

1 cup of Carrot – 38mg

0.75 cup of Oat – 320mg

2 tblsp ketchup – 334mg

1 whole egg – 60mg

And that’s just some of the food that you eat on a daily base.

That not even one meal on you almost reach the recommend daily
allowance of salt.

The recommend daily allowance is 6 grams per day for adult = 1 teaspoon
of table salt per day.

Be honest: do you eat more than one teaspoon of salt a day?

You probably eat a lot of table salt and then of course there’s all the
salt that you get from your food anyway to add. So the actual amount of salt in
your diet is out of control!!!!

You’re not healthy.

Stop adding salt to your food!

I’m not saying “do not have sodium in your diet”; what I’m saying is
that if YOU won’t add salt to your diet you would be able to EAT THE CAKE
AND NOT GET FAT.

Sodium is a mineral and your body needs it.

There’s sodium in salt but salt is not sodium and those two shouldn't be confused.

Rule #11 – don’t add salt to your food.

I think it’s simple and you’ll be surprise as to how fast your taste
buds get used to it.

Don’t add it when you sit and eat don’t add it when you cook or bake,
don’t add it at all.

About Me

I was born fat and I grow up hoping one day its all going to disperse and one day I'll wake up skinny.
Well guess what fat doesn't just disperse you need to work for it but you shouldn't be miserable. losing weight doesn't have to be giving up on everything you like or hating yourself losing weight is about getting healthier and stronger (and you can still eat cake)
